This time around everyone really brought their A game! Good job, good job. I mean to be honest I never really understand when they don’t get it right… they have people dressing them… hello!? My favorite though was definitely Jennifer Lawrence’s Dior Couture dress and backwards diamond necklace. Even if the dress caused her to fall… still worth it. xo

At first glance, Anne Hathaway’s Gucci gown which she adorned to the London Premiere of The Dark Knight seems airy and fairly simple, which yes, in good assessment is still true. However if you pay close attention the entirety of the dress is covered in pearls, and the floral decoration on the neck is silk and jeweled hand made flowers. I am also obsessed with the armhole that cuts down to the waist; a silhouette that I sometime find myself creating for the runway. This dress is absolute perfection.

Remember the behind the scenes post a while back where we were making ballerina costumes for Christian Rich?? Well the music video (produced, conceptualized & directed by WENDEL) is finally out! Check it out and peep our ballerina costumes… the white is my favorite!

“Runaways” the ONIKAI Look Book Fashion Film is finally online!

From the designer about Runaways: “In the film the main character is being chased by her dark self and she comes to realize in the end that this dream land that her mischievous side is existing in is really reality. It is this idea that we can not really hide from those dark parts of our selves, and I really think this idea is translated into the collection.”

“…you can call Runaways a look book, a fashion film, a story… what ever you want to call it. The film does not highlight the collection as a whole, but some of my favorite key pieces that helped tell the story of Runaways and vice versa, it gives the emotion and idea behind the line.”

“This is why I love fashion so much it can not be contained in a box, it can not be cornered or limited to one idea… it is what ever us designers want it to be.”
